I think it's a 1/8" hex key. Either a long one, the long end of a short one or a T handled hex key will do.

It's always handy to have one of those combo hex sets around. :wink:

You don't adjust action by turning the truss rod.

Try lowering your bridge saddles first.
The trussrod is for straightning the neck,not setting the action.
